shaft 12 extends beyond the end of the trunnion portion 20 and hassecured thereon the knurled head 21. The extending portion of thetrunnion 20 has pivotally secured therein the ends of a split ring 22. V7

Bearing against the inner end of the roller 14 is the roller 15, theface which bears against the roller 15 having a central recess 23therein, in which recess'the pinion 19 is positioned. The wall of therecess 23 is cutaway as at 24 and there is secured in the cutawayportion 24 one endof a spring pawl 25, the other end thereof extendinginwardly toengage the ratchet 19.

The roller 16 is securedly mounted upon the shaft 12 by means-ofthesetscrew 26, and one end of this roller bears against the end of the roller15 and the other end has formed thereon and extending from the 1011-gitudinal center thereof the pinion 27.

The roller 17 has one end bearing against that end of the roller 16 uponwhich the pinion 27 is formed, and further has this end provided'with acentral recess 28 into which the pinion 27 extends. The wall of thisrecess also has an offset portion 29 in which there is secured one endof the spring pawl 30, the other end of which engages the teeth of thepinion 27. The other end of the roller .17, is reduced as shown andbears against the inner face of the adjacent side wall of the casing 1.

It will be noted that the rollers 14, 15 and 17 are mounted torevolvefreely upon the shaft 12 whereas the roller 16 is' secured thereto bymeans of the set screw 26.

The roller 14 has theenlarged body portion l8-bounded at each end by thesur- 15, 16 and 17 have flanges 32 at one end of each, theother endofeach of these rollers making use of the'flange upon the adjacentroller to set up the peripheral inset portion 33 of each roller.

"Within the casing 1 there is placed a series ofzendless belts34, 35, 36and 37 respectively the belt 34 passing over and connecting the rollers8 and 14, and having thereon in abbreviated form and properconsecutiveorder the names of the months of the year. a

The belts-35 and 36 respectively pass over and connect the rollers 9 and15, and 10 and 16- respectively, and these belts each have the numerals1 to 9 inclusive arranged in consecutive order upon the face thereof,and a cipher following each 9. i

The belt 37 passes over and connects the rollers 11 and 17 and hasprinted upon the face thereof in their proper order thenames of the daysof the week. s I

Uponeach side wall of the casing 1 there is secured the longitudinallyextending loop 38 and these loops are adapted to have passedtherethroughacrossthe back of the casing'1, a strap 39 whichmay-besecured about the wrist of the user of the calendar to retain thecalendar in place, orthe strap 39 may be a wrist watch strap and thecalendar may be held in position upon one side of the wrist while thewatch is held upon the opposite side.

In the. use of this calendar, in order to set the same to indicatethrough the crystal 6 the day of the month and the date thereof, theuser first revolves the shaft 12, by means of the knurled head 21,toward the face of the calendar, thus causing the roller 16 to revolve,causing the pinion 27, through the medium of the engaged pawl 30 torevolve the roller 17, t-urningthe belt 37 until the name of the properdayof the week appears beneath the crystal 6. The shaft 12 is thenrevolved in the opposite direction, the, pinion 27 idling beneath'thepawl 30 and causing the belt 36 to revolve-in the opposite direction tothat in which the belt 37 was caused to revolve, and until the desirednumeral makes its appearance beneath the crystal 6.

Assuming that the day of the. week desired to be shown is Tuesday andthe date the 20th, the name Tuesday and the cipher will have appearedthrough the CTYSbELhG.

The split ring 22 is now caused to revolve the roller 14' toward thefront of the calendar casing and when this is done the pinion 19 willengage the pawl 25 carried by the roller 15 and causing the roller torevolve turning the belt 35 until the numeral 2 ap pears'beside thecipher. The split ring 22 and the roller 14 is then turned in theopposite direction to cause the pinion to idle beneath. the pawl 25 andto turn the belt 34 V a until the name of the desired month appearsroundlng flanges 31 and theother rollers- Having thus described myinvention, what I claim is a 1. In a device'of the character set forth,a casing having a sight opening through one face thereof, a pair ofspaced parallel shafts revolubly mounted in said casing, a plurality ofrollers mounted upon each shaft, one of the rollers upon one shaft beingfixed thereto, endless aligned symbol bearing straps extending over andconnecting the rollers of said shafts and viewable through said sightopening, and a pawl and ratchet connection'between said fixed roller andthe adjacent roller whereby both straps may be shifted as desired by theclock-wise or counterclockwise revolution of the supporting shaft. e

2. In a device of the character set forth, a casing having a sightopening through one face thereof, a pair of spaced parallel shaftsrevolubly mounted in said casing, a pair of rollers upon each shaft, onerollerof the pair on one shaft having a longitudinally extending recessformed in one end thereof, a circular extension formed upon one end ofthe other of said pair, having teeth formed about the periphery thereofand further extending into said recess, means for securing one of saidlast mentioned rollers to its shaft, endless aligned symbol bearingbelts passing over and connecting the rollers of said shafts, andviewable through said sight opening, and means in said recess forengaging the teeth upon said extension when the fixed roller is revolvedin one direction by the attached shaft to turn the rollerssimultaneously, said means becoming inoperative when the fixed roller isrevolved in the opposite direction allowing one roller to remainstationary.

3. In a device of the character set forth, a casing having a sightopening through one face thereof, a pair of spaced parallel shaftsrevolubly mounted in said casing, a plurality of rollers upon eachshaft, those upon one shaft being separated into a plurality of pairs,one roller of each pair having a longitudinally extending axial recessformed therein, a peripherally toothed extension formed upon one end ofthe other roller of each pair and extended into a recess of an adjacentroller, means for securing one roller of one pair to said shaft, one endof one roller of the other pair having a reduced portion extended beyondthe exterior of the casing upon and about its supporting shaft, endlessaligned sym bol bearing belts passed about and connecting the rollers onthe spaced shafts, and viewable through said sight opening, and meanswithin each of said recesses for engaging the toothed extension locatedtherein when a certain one of each pair is actuated in one direction,to: turn each of the pair simultaneously, said means becominginoperative when said certain ones of each pair are turned in theopposite di rection, allowing one roller only of each pair to 'be movedtoshift the belt passing thereover.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature hereto.

HAROLD GASHYESVA.
